Eintracht Frankfurt bolstered their bid for a top-four finish in the Bundesliga with a 3-1 victory over Bochum on Sunday.

The win strengthens their grip on fourth place, keeping them three points clear of RB Leipzig.

Kick-off was delayed by nearly an hour after Bochum fans refused to remove banners blocking an emergency exit.

Once the match got underway, Frankfurt took the lead in the 27th minute when Rasmus Kristensen capitalised on his rebound during a counter-attack.

Five minutes later, Jean-Matteo Bahoya doubled the visitors advantage, slotting home after an exquisite pass from Hugo Ekitike.
